It’s the best line in comic style toys ever...every one of them is worth getting, IMO. I think there are only 8 at this point. I don’t think Spider-Man or Venom are worth getting and Magneto, Deadpool and Cap are just okay. Carnage, Wolverine and Spider-Gwen are the only three stand-outs. IMO.

To me, even the worst of this line are better than the best of other company attempts. Only Cap is really off to me lookswise but it comes with nice options and accessories.
Slave IV Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I normally don’t buy HW 3 packs but impulse bought these today mainly for the Porsche and Mclaren but the muscle cars are a nice bonus.

Only a small handful were imported into Japan, and among them, some are good: Some are okay... ...and some are awful. Most of the line is distressingly off-scale and off-model, but there appear to be a few gems as well. I definitely need the Fujitoid, and Usagi Yojimbo, and... what others would you recommend?

You got the four Turtles in Training, Mousers, Foot Solders and Metalhead; that's a good start right there. Usagi is not the best overall IMO, however a little paint on a few spots will make a difference. Get: Leatherhead (alligator) Maybe: Weedhead, Kirby the bat and the Psycho Looking Squirrel. The bottom three of Fishface, April and Dogpound are not that great. *Do not get Casey Jones, Baxter Stockman as that looks terrible as well! To bad that you're not in either in the States or Canada, otherwise you can pick and choose your own TMNT figures.. Good to see your spotlight on Maz's blog on TFsource. Here's the back of Usagi's Packaging. The ones from the first and second run of Playmates TMNT figures are a must get. Edit: Happy Canada Day to you (as you're from Edmonton originally).

I've never been afraid to add a little paint. Some figures definitely need it. Splinter, for example, is supposed to look like this: Not like this. So I did this: Now I'm a lot more satisfied with the figure. Sure, it looks like a sloppy, hand-painted custom now, but at least it's an improvement.

Thanks borgified, but it seems I'm a lot pickier about scale than you are. The Squirrelanoid is about 30% smaller than he should be, Leatherhead is about 50% smaller than he should be, and Snakeweed is about 70% smaller than he should be...! I just bought Karai, Usagi and the Fugitoid (since it seems they're properly scaled) for $60 shipped, which is probably the cheapest I'm likely to get any figures imported here.

kajnrig Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Both these figures are surprisingly HUGE... one in more ways than the other.

anubis20 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 This was a good HLJ haul. Didnt think Mafex Scarecrow was gonna come out anytime soon.
Lolicon Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Finally cleaned out my PW. There's a PF SDF-1 behind all the figures. HLJ also sent a fan.

borgified Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I can see the amazement if Mirage was done in the same scale as Klan Klang ( and if Megahouse decides to).

Mafex did release a Batpod awhile back, if you weren't already aware. Yeah I'm getting the Figuarts Seline Kyle too. I'll compare it to the Mafex version and probably sell off the one I like less.

I really wish someone would make Ninja Scroll figures. I’d buy them all if they were good enough. I’d even consider giving up on collecting other figures to get them if I had to.
Matt Random Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 The Arkham Batman and Joker are the new kids on the block.
Slave IV Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I rarely buy Transformers these days and all but swore off anything not MP level but I had to order these two guys and finally got them. I’m not disappointed at all. The best Chug bots I think I’ve ever bought.
